Hello people, it's abit overdue, but Happy Chinese New Year. May the year of water dragon brings you all health, love and happiness. I personally these are the most essential elements that one should possessed, it somehow links to other rather minor elements, you figure it out.
Chinese New Year has been great so far. It's tiring, but it's nice to see some people who you doesn't get to meet often. Spring cleaning was crazy, but it's worth the craziness after seeing how clean is the house.
Anyway, having been a local lad who has no kampung to head back during festive season, i do have some time to look through my facebook during CNY to see how's everyone doing at their kampung. I came to observed that nowadays alot of people does not appreciate the time spent with their family or closed ones. I can see people posting on their wall complaining how boring it is to be back at their kampung, complaining angpow value is outdated from market value, complaining that it's annoying that relatives been asking same question over and over again.
Besides complaints over complaints, the only thing they could boast is the quantity of angpows that they received, how much money they won from gambling. I think these people just don't see the meaning of CNY anymore. It's not all about just being present during reunion dinner, it's not about receiving angpows during house visitation. The whole concept of CNY is to reunion with your beloved ones during a brand new year and cherish the moment of togetherness.
Seriously, alot of people does not know how to cherish the person around them until they lose them. Thus, i really urge everyone live the present and appreciate the people around you. You might not know what is going to happen on the next day. Just like how people saying that the world will comes to an end in 2012. You might not know if it's gonna be happening or it's not.
Really, read up the true meaning of CNY and celebrate it!
Cheers.
